Over 2,000 'No Kings' protests took place across the US yesterday, where Americans marched to oppose Donald Trump and his administration.
The timing of the mass protests coincided with President Trump's military parade to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the US Army (with Flag Day and his 79th birthday occurring at the same time).
The purpose of the protests were to be a "a direct response to Donald Trump’s self-aggrandizing $100 million military parade and birthday celebration, an event funded by taxpayers while millions are told there's no money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid, or public schools," according to organisers "No Kings" on their website.
As the photos from the protests show, millions turned out and shared their support on social media - including some recognisable faces.
Here is a round-up of which celebrities attended or vocalised their support for the "No Kings" protests against Trump:
Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarandon
